Children as a rule arc Interested In
chickens, esiecially the wee "peeps"
that bave just come out of tbe shell
And what better fun for youngster
tban tbe care of a flock? Tbe crowing
roosters, cackling bona and sprightly
chicks are attractive, and tbe gath
ering of eggs from their own (lock and
taking them- to niotherls joy for any
boy or girl. Poultry care Is a nitture
study and for that reason is good for
the young folks. It is good for any
child who can do so to bave a few tor
their very own. Tbe boy In the pic
ture has made a pet of a Mg Brabuia

Caps For the Doll.
When a doll's hair bus been worn
way around her forehead so that it is
no longer pretty it Is a good plan to
put a narrow band of velvet or satin
ribbon around the forehead to conceal
the worn parts. The ends are fastened
in the back with a little pin. Tbe bntr
Is puffed above this and made up In a
kind of knot on the buck of tbe bend.
If tbe doll's balr has been entirely
spoiled she will have to wear caps.
Just now it Is very fasblonuble to have
a number of these caps, some for morn
ing and some for evening wear. Tbe
morning raps are called boudoir caps,
and those meant for evening wear are
called theater caps. Tbe caps are made
of fine white material net or chiffon,
and they are exactly like tbe caps that
real people are now wearing. There
is a full crown and a ruffle of lace
around tbe face. Small flowers and
little bows of ribbon are used to deco
rate tbe caps. Tbey may also be made
of $old brocade or gold gauze oVer a
colored silk lining.

Vale Lock Tag.
This outdoor game for boys originat
ed at the Yale University Summer
School of Physical Training and was
a favorite. Tbe class wished the
game to have a name that would sug
gest Its birthplace, and so It became
"Tale lock tag."
Tbe players form In twos, with tbetr
arms locked, and scatter over tbe
playground. One player Is selected
for runner and another for chaser.
The chaser tries to tag the runner,
who may save himself by locking
arms with any one of a couple. This
compels the third player to leave his
partner and take the place of the run
ner. To make the game most Interesting
there should be constant changes, and
one player should not try to see how
long he can run uncaught, but should
lock arms with some one as soon as
possible.

Mirrors For Dolly's Hout.
Mirrors for the doll's bouse can be
made of cardboard covered with tin
foil and framed In gold paper. Tbey
may be any shape that you desire,
round, square or oval, and you may
make the frames quite elaborate by
cutting out fancy borders from tbe
gold paper.

" The Bella "of Dave. '
The first thing that strikes the tra.n
ger In Davoa, Switzerland, and strikes
him unpleasantly U the bells. Not
only does every cow, goat and sheep
wear lta bell, but when they are all
hut tip for the winter and we hope for
a little rest then comes the Infernal,
eta real din from every cart, carriage,
sleigh, omnibus and all otber kinds of
rehlcla which ply for hire or other
wise. No doubt they become a neces
sity on the silent highways aa winter
progreaaea, but that does not render
them on bit mora palatable,
Though tbe season of 1011 was a
banner year for the development and
discovery of young phenoms. it also
saw the passing of a remarkable num
ber of old stars. Many of these vet
erans who drew their Inst major league
salary check at the close of last sea
son were stars of the first magnitude
when some of the 1011 fledglings were
being introduced to knee trousers
There is always a pathetic side when
a new find Is discovered. Every time
a Marty O'Toole, a Grover Cleveland
Alexander or a Joe Jackson Is discov
ered It means that some old fellow
whose legs are beginning to stiffen
and wbose batting eye Is getting dim
will have to pack bis grip aud take
the inevitable trip on the "minor league
specials."
Among the former stars who bave
Tolunturily retired from active serv
Ice or have beeu released since tbe be
ginning of the 11)11 campaign are such
well known men as Kred Clarke. Kred

Charley Schmidt. Danny Hoffman,

Otber players who have served in tbe
big leagues for shorter eriods and

last year are l-ew Moreu. Jack Row

Concerning Frank Chance.
Father Time was particularly severe
on former star first suckers. Though
Frank Cbauce bus nnnounred be will
again play first fcase this season, most
critics seem Inclined to believe that the
season of 1911 marked the end of
"Husk's" career as a playing man
ager. Frank may play this year, but it
Is doubtful If he will ever be the Frank
Chance of old
But even If Chance hangs on for an
other year, three former star first base
men. Harry Dnvls. Fred Tenney and
Kitty Bransfield. hove completed their I
big league careers. Davis, the Cleve
land Naps' new pilot, has announced
that be will be a bench manager, al
though be may occasionally take a
whack at the ball In a pinch. However.
he says be Is through as a first base
man. Tenney will scout for Boston
this season, and Kitty Bransfield will
play with Louisville.
Fred Clarke has said be Is through
as a player. So sure Is the Kan sun
that he will keep bis word that be has
wagered twenty -one suits of clothes
that be will not even take up a bat Ip
the pinch. As twenty-one suits woulc
put a hole even In the buccaneer chief
tain's pocketbook. It may be taken for
granted that Clarke Is sincere
Griff, tha Headsman.
Two former star outfielders will be
managers In the minors this season.
They are Charley Hemphill and Topsy
Hartsel The former New Yorker Is
In charge of tbe Atlanta Southern
league club, while Connie Mack's one
time speed merchant Is looking after
the destinies of the Toledo Mud Ileus

and Jack LellrelL
One of tbe greatest third basemen
the game has ever produced played
his last game In the fast set last sea
son namely. Harry Steinfeldt, tbe for
mer star third sucker of tbe Cubs.
Steiuy played with the Bostons last
season, but illness soon compelled bim
to desist
Jesse Tannehlll, the former star left
bander of tbe Pirates. Highlanders
and Boston Red Sox, finished bis big
league career In Cincinnati.
That Big Deal.
It seems strange that all four of tbe
pitchers Involved in tbe big deal of
1910 between Griffith and Dooln
should bave been sent back to the
bushes the same year. McQuillen,
Uoren, Bee lie and Rowan were tbe
taen Involved, and all of them bad
teen In the big leagues from three
to five years.
George Schlel, tbe former Giant and
Cincinnati mainstay, got his uncondi
tional release shortly after tbe 1911
season opened. George was recently
signed by tbe Cubs, but he has
been shipped to Louisville. "Dutch"
Schmidt, the white bope of tbe pro
fession, who at one time was almost
the entire Tiger catching staff, has
been sent to Navln'a farm In Provi
dence. Schmidt was the Tigers' first
catcher in tbe world's series of 1907,
190S and 1909. and his poor work prov
ed a big handicap to Jennings' war
flora.
Good
form
Man'a Visiting Carda.
A man's visiting card Is for some In
scrutable reason decidedly smaller than
a womuu's. The shape Is long and nar
row, the length being uciuly or quite
twice the width. A mini may have the
address of his house or his club on his
visiting card if he likes, but usually bo
does uot Perhaps this apparent mod
esty on his part is iu reality duo to the
fact thut his wife, mother or sister of
ten does the formal visiting for the
family. Since ber card contains tho
address It Is not strictly necessary that
bis should do so. A young mat) who is
a favorite In society knows that people
who want to Invite him will take the
trouble to look up bis residence tu tbe
directory.
In the case of a married couple If
the husband's card gives the residence
the wife's sometimes omits It. it
would seem to be more sensible, how
ever, for every oue to put his or hut
address on the visiting curd, as this
often saves time and trouble and pre
vents confusion. The ludv who looks
over the contents of her curd receiver
when arranging to seud out Invita
tions may Inadvertently mix up mem
bers of different families having the
same name. For this reason, as well
as for the sake of uniformity, which
Is desirable lu these matters. It Is well
to have the cards of the different
members of one family living under
the same roof engraved In the same
style of lettering. It need scarcely be
said that there should be only one
style of lettering ou a card, although
the address may be In smaller type
than the name. It Is now the fashion
to give at full length the numbers of
the street and house unless these are
so long as to look cumbrous.
Twenty-seven West Seventeenth atreet.
We cannot help suspecting that this
style was Invented for the benefit of
the stationer, since it Involves more
work for tbe. eugraver and therefore
more expensive for the purchaser than
the simple figures. As It also has an
appearance of affectation, we venture
to predict that It will not lust many
years.
A man's visiting card should always
bear the prefix "Mr." unless be ha
some other title. A physician de
scribes himself as "Dr." or "Doctor.
a clergvman as "Reverend." If he Is
a doctor of divinity be may add D. D.
after his name. A Judge uses that
term on bis card. For the members
of tbe supreme court at Washington
the correct title Is
Mr. Justice Holmes.
thus omitting the Christian name. Of
fleers of the United States army and
navy state tbelr rank as:
Rear Admiral
A B C-Commandant
Naval Station United States Navy
Newport.
A lieutenant describes himself a
"Mr.," although he may give his ran
beneath bis name. If be is iu the ur
my tbe regiment may be given also.
MIHtia and otber complimentary titles
are not used. There should be no
"Mr." on a business card. . A school
boy. uses no prefix tojiis name Hus
band and wlftTbften bave a Joint card
to send with wedding presents or to
use for purposes of congratulation or
condolence. Such a card is Dot often
used for calling, except during tbe
first year of marriage.

Helpful Hints For Woman.
The woman who Is Innntely dainty
dislikes to remove her gloves when
traveling by rail, for grimy and tin
sightly Indeed does tbe band become
in even a well protected drawing room
coach. Some women carry old. loose
gloves, which are drawn ou at tbe be
ginning of the Journey and removed
onlv in the dining car. For the same
reason the hat should never be remov
ed while traveling by rail unless
chiffon veil is at hand to tie over the
bair. It is so hard to keep tbe hair
properly shampooed while traveling
that the greatest care should be taken
of It and tbe dust and soot of an
all day railroad Journey will prnctl
cally ruin Its condition, robbing It of
Its luster and rendering it clogged.
heavy and whlspy. A chiffon hood,
made like an automobile hood and lin
ed with thin silk will keep the balr
clean on the train and at tbe same
time be light, cool and comfortable
When the end of the Journey Is reach
ed a handful of powdered orris may
be shaken over tbe balr and brushed
out This will help to make the tresses
clean and fluffy.
Tbe Importance of a note of acknowl
edgment not only of an invitation but
of courtesy received cannot be over
estimated, and tbe few graceful words
of thanks for tbe pleasant evening
please tbe hostess and gain for a guest
the reputation of having been well
brought up and also of being appre
dative two most valuable assets.
In these days, when attractive sta
tionery can be bought for so little,
every girl should take care to select at
tractive note paper. Tbe coat of mark
ing tbe address is also very trifling,
and a dainty note, well written and
well expressed, always makes a good
Impression upon the recipient. Small
note paper and tbe oblong cards should
always be kept at band so there can
be no excuse for not answering an In
vitation promptly or In acknowledg
ing acta of courtesy or kindness, and
Just such trifling acts as these do more
to make or mar a girl's popularity
than she realize.

ORIGINAL WOOL SALE
DATES NOT CHANGED
Aealn It Is announced that there
has been practically no change in the
wool sales dates originally set by the
Oregon Wool Growers' association.
Under the date of April 23, Secretary
John G. Hodke or the association
writes:
"I wish to advise wou that tho Ore
gon Wool Growers aBsociuuuu una
not chanced any dates, other than
the date at Raker, Or., ror July 6,
in order that Grant County growers
can sell their wool and go to Port
land to tbe Elks' grand lodge conven
tion on the special leaving linker the
7th Instant. I am enclosing you a
list of the dates as published which
are In the hands of the buyers, and
are perfectly satisfactory to them.
'In order to make tnis clear inese
dates are subject to change at the
time that buyers are in the field, as
s has been done many times before;
something may come up that will
make It necessary to change them at
that time. And furthermore, tne uuy
er is always in touch and will know
of these changes.
I notice that Joseph was set ior
June 25. when Itf fact the president
of this association gave them the dates
they preferred for their prospective
rdaces. and no one has the right to
make any changes other than announ
ced before."
ers nre becoming much more friend
ly to tho open competition or sales
than ever before. Tho date have
now been mado so that they do not
conflict
WAR C0HE8 TO END
Forecnsts or a lower price for mo
hair than hud been paid heretofore
this season, were confirmed by the
sale made at Soduvlllo when tho Lel-anon-Sodavlllo
pool was sold at pri
vate sale or Theodore lierhelm &
Co., at 30 cents a pound. That the
war between buyers or mohair has
come to an end Is Indicated by the
fact that open bids at Sodavlllo salo
were no higher than 35 and one-hair
! cents. This was not accepted by the
pool managers and the offerings were
later sold nt private salo. In all
about 20,000 pounds were Included In
the salo.
Much Interest Is centering In tho
snlo or the Dallas pool today. This
being tho lurgcst pool in tbe Btate
It Is but natural that bidding should
be spirited. However, the fact -that
the pool has not been sold to open
bidders ior several scuBons lias eem'
Ingly convinced some of the leading
buyers that they cannot get it no mav
ter how high they bid. For that rea
son Borne say they are Inclined to cut
out tho expense and stay at homo.
Whether they will change their minds
and take the morning train for the
Polk county seat will only be shown
by the bids there today.
BUT PRICE IS SAME PRICE OF OREGON
The movement of wool Is Increas
ing but there has been no Improve
ment In the price. Tho fact that the
freight rate to the east ha been re
duced has not made the slightest (in
ference with buyers, the extra amount
being ansorbed by the trade at this
end of the line.
Purchase of Willamette valley
wool are still reported at 16 & 18c
pound but no business has been
confirmed above this range although
there bave been rumor that 19c ha
been paid for ome extra fancy offerings.
The situation In tbe wool trade in
the east Is showing practically no
hange. Little Interest I being
shown by manufacturer there and
tbe business ha been removed entire
ly to the North- Pacific coast where
the season he recently opened.
Some business I passing In east
ern Oregon around the nominal prices
recently quoted but the great bulk
of the supplies there will be held In
tact for the regular sale dates. Grow-
What Oregon mohair at thl time
la actually worth seem to be a mat
ter of much uncertainty. The course
of the market the past week beyond
doubt has tended to cloud rather
than clear the situation, and it is
but natural that the valley grower
should be considerably perplexed as
a result of tbe late developement.
The sale of the Eddyvllle pool at
a small fraction under 38 cent about
a week ago Is a matter of record,
and It Is conceded In all quarter that
the boosting of tbe market to that
figure was to some extent the result
of rivalry among the local buyers
Then about the middle of last week
word went out that the market had
eased off to something like the norm
al level and that buyers would not
under any circumstances pay better
than 31 centa for mohair.
